The hour-long program will start with an analysis of a primary source related to Constitution Day and participants will be invited to discuss instructional strategies that can be used with primary sources. In addition, education specialists will highlight resources related to Constitution Day for teachers from the Library’s vast online collections.
Primary sources have great instructional power, and are increasingly important in standards, including the Common Core State Standards. In this blog, you'll hear from us every few days as we highlight engaging items from the Library's free online collections, along with ready-to-use teaching ideas.
Primary sources are more important to teachers than ever before, and the Library of Congress makes it easy not only to find great primary sources, but also to quickly and effectively use them in your teaching.
